This De Luxe Rennet Custard is a nostalgic, elegant dessert that requires no baking. The base is a silky, set custard made by substituting light cream for milk, resulting in a richer, more luxurious texture than the standard version. It sets quickly in the refrigerator, making it perfect for spontaneous gatherings or holiday dinners. The traditional topping features a vibrant layer of canned jellied cranberry sauce, adding a tart contrast to the sweet cream. For variety, you can infuse the custard with almond, rum, or sherry extracts, or build a trifle with cake slices. It’s a simple, old-fashioned treat that feels special without demanding hours in the kitchen.

Directions

  1. Prepare the rennet custard mix according to package directions, but substitute light cream for milk to create a richer base.
  2. Pour the custard into individual serving dishes or a trifle bowl and refrigerate until set.
  3. For the classic topping, spread the 1/3 cup of canned jellied cranberry sauce over the set custard just before serving.
  4. Optional: For Chocolate-Almond flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon almond extract to chocolate-flavored rennet custard.
  5. Optional: For Rum-Mocha flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon rum extract and 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder to chocolate rennet custard.
  6. Optional: For a Trifle, sprinkle cake slices with rum, sherry, or brandy extract, then pour vanilla or lemon rennet custard over the slices.
  7. Optional: For Cranberry Island, beat 1 egg white until stiff, gradually beat in 2 tablespoons sugar, and fold in 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
  8. Divide the meringue among 5 glasses, pour vanilla rennet custard over the meringue, and top with cranberry sauce.
  9. Optional: For Sherry-Maple, add 1 teaspoon sherry extract to maple-flavored rennet custard.
  10. Optional: For Orange-Mincemeat, place a spoonful of prepared mincemeat in each dish and pour orange-flavored rennet custard on top.
